Auralis: Light Meditation

See moving color behind closed eyes with light and sound meditation you pay for once. Wander is free as often as you like. Sleep is free to try three times. One purchase unlocks the other six for good, with no trial to cancel.

Quiet a busy mind in ten minutes. No sitting still, no trying to clear your head.

Auralis pulses light and sound at the rhythms your brain settles into when you are relaxed, meditating or drifting off to sleep. You lie down, close your eyes and let it do the work. Within a few minutes most people begin to see moving color and geometric patterns behind their eyelids.

WHAT IT HELPS WITH

• Let go of the day. Ten minutes is usually enough to feel the difference.
• Fall asleep more easily. The Sleep session walks you down from alert to drowsy, then fades out on its own.
• Meditate without the struggle. If sitting practice has never stuck, the light does the settling for you.
• Come back to focus. A short session clears the fog when your attention is everywhere at once.

HOW IT WORKS

The brain tends to fall in step with a rhythm it can see and hear. Auralis pulses your phone's rear camera flash in time with its audio. It moves that rhythm through the bands associated with relaxation (alpha), deep meditation (theta) and sleep (delta).

Nothing happens on the screen. The imagery is your own visual system responding to light through closed eyelids, which is why no two sessions look quite the same.

HOW TO USE IT

Make the room as dark as you can. Put headphones on. Lie down, close your eyes and rest the phone 2 to 4 inches from your face with the rear flash pointing at you. Then stop trying and let the session run.

THE SESSIONS

Wander (free). An open, drifting session under alpha-range light. The best place to start.
Sleep (3 free plays). Twenty minutes that wind down from beta to delta for the end of the day.
Unwind. Four minutes of soft alpha light for a break between things.
Flow. Twelve minutes on a slow, steady pulse at the edge of theta. Works on a speaker too.
Deep Calm. Twenty minutes of slower theta, for when you want to go further down.
Meditate. Theta, for sitting practice.
Focus. A short beta session for when your head is somewhere else.

Every session runs a timed program rather than holding one note. It opens gently, settles, drifts lower and fades out slowly so you are not dropped out of it at the end. The brightness rises and falls on a slow 12 second cycle as it goes.

GOOD TO KNOW

Headphones matter for most sessions. Binaural audio depends on each ear hearing a slightly different tone, so it does not work through a speaker. Flow is the exception: its pulse is in the sound itself.

The darker the room, the stronger the effect. Ambient light washes it out even through closed eyelids.

SAFETY

Auralis flashes bright light at a steady rhythm. Do not use it if you have photosensitive epilepsy or a personal or family history of seizures. Do not use it after alcohol or other substances. Do not use it while driving or operating machinery. Stop at once if you feel unwell. If you are unsure whether this is suitable for you, speak to a doctor first.

Auralis is a relaxation and well-being app. It is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any condition.
